Diabetes and A Jiggly Kind of Nostalgia
When I was first diagnosed with diabetes it was a really terrifying moment for me. Both my parents had died young just a few years earlier from complications with diabetes. Watching them wither away and die was a really horrifying experience for me that will probably scar me for the rest of my life. The months and years after my parents deaths, no matter what happened to me, my personal mantra was, "Well, at least I don't have diabetes!". Being diagnosed with first cancer, and then a heart condition, I thought to myself, "It's not so bad, at least I don't have diabetes!". And then one day my doctor sent me an email. To her that email probably meant nothing, just one of many she sent out that day, to me it was like getting a death sentence. I had diabetes. No words could say how terrified I was. I still had vivid memories of what the disease had done to my parents. To say I had food anxieties would be the understatement of the century. For months I ate almost nothing but egg white and spinach salad. I ate it for lunch and dinner every day. Some times even for breakfast too! I was too terrified to eat anything that tasted even remotely sweet. Even carrots or bell peppers were too sweet and completely off the table.

Diabetes and High on Hydration
Water is so important to life of all kinds. The world is made up of about 70% water for a reason. Water washes away toxins, it allows plants to grow and thrive, and is vital for all animals (even humans) bodies to function properly. Though water is considered by many to be the most boring of drinks, it's actually the most drunk beverage around the globe. And though it is so very important for all humans to have enough clean water to drink, it's even more important for people living with diabetes. In fact, dehydration can be quite dangerous for those with diabetes and can happen alarmingly quickly. During one of my diabetic health check-ups, a nurse told me that one of the leading causes of diabetic related ER visits was dehydration. And what was the first treatment that a diabetic is likely to get at the ER? They are almost always put on an IV, especially if their visit involves high blood sugar. Yes, dehydration is so common with diabetics that ER staff are likely to put a person with diabetes on an IV drip even before their test results come back!

Diabetics, Don't Say Bye Bye to Coconut Pie!
If you're like me, than you love some pie! Apple pie, cherry pie, pumpkin pie! Oooo, some hot peach pie with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! I just love the taste of all that melty, creamy vanilla snuggling up to the sweet, freshness of the peach filling. Nothing makes my mouth water like the thought of a nice slice of pie. Of course, now that I'm a diabetic, me and pie have had to take a step back from each other and rethink our relationship. At first, in the beginning months after my diagnosis, I thought that pie and really all desserts were off the table for me. For good. But as I learned more about my condition, how my personal body reacted to different carbs, and learned more about the vibrant and often tasty world of low carb eating, I learned that desserts in moderation, maybe weren't so bad. In fact, maybe even my beloved pie could make a come back in my life. One of the many pies that worked hard and won it's way back into my heart was coconut pie. But not the old, sugar heavy, no-friend-of-mine coconut pie. This pie had changed its old, bad ways and come back to be a tasty, lighter version of its old self. So if you're missing some coconut pie, and think you can never be friends again, let me introduce you to Coconut Chia Seed Pudding!

Diabetes and the Big Scary "C"
If you are a diabetic, than you know that the “C” word is a dirty word to us! That’s right, it’s carbs! The tasty things we all love, but that doesn’t love us back anymore. Those springy dinner rolls, those fluffy mashed potatoes, those bouncy cupcakes, those are all carb heavy foods. When your diabetic dietitian tells you that you need to cut down on carbs, it can seem like there's nothing left to eat any more. This feeling can be doubly strong if you're living in the US, where almost everything is carb-a-licious. I remember walking into a grocery store at the beginning of my carb cutting journey and realizing that I couldn't eat 90% of everything being sold in that store. There were whole aisles in which there wasn't a single item on the shelves that was safe for me to eat! At times the task of cutting carbs seemed really over whelming. But with some practice, know-how, and some tasty new recipes, I've found that living with less carbs really isn't so big or scary.
